  Why We Teach Literature
One of the two camps was labeled the academic tradition, in which the treatment of literature in the curriculum was shaped by the science of philology, and the reading of every literary work had to be justified on the grounds of its contribution to the students' understanding of the logic and stylistics of literature.
Literature will contribute to their ability to understand others and to transcend differences if students read about people with problems like their own: people making life choices in circumstances of uncertainty, people searching for ideals in an increasingly materialistic world, people seeking to relate to others across cultural boundaries.
Secondly, it was suggested that a major value of literature is to give readers constructs--words, metaphors, images, and plots--with which to understand what would otherwise seem to be the random phenomena of human experience; and that a complementary value was the power of literature to nourish and educate the imagination.

 MyJewishLearning.com - Culture: Israeli Literature
Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, Israeli literature written in the Hebrew language is extraordinarily rich and varied, although Israel is a small country and Hebrew is spoken by relatively few people.
Shmuel Yosef Agnon (1888-1970), winner of the Nobel Prize in literature in 1966, is undoubtedly the most brilliant and profound Hebrew author of the 20th century—some might say since biblical times.
The question remains as to whether the Jewishness of Israeli literature, as of the rest of contemporary Israeli culture, must be explicitly articulated and examined or whether it is simply and naturally present, the matrix upon which everything else lies.

 Nordic Literature
The arrangements for financial support for Sámi literature and translations in each Nordic country are directly proportionate to how well known the literature is. The concept of Sámi literature is unknown in Finland and Sweden.
In Sweden, where the position of Sámi literature seems as neglected as in Finland, there is a special section in the grants programme of the Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs allowing for support for the literature of a national minority, but Sámi literature has no special position.
The translation of literature from minority languages -- possibly even the publication of a translation simultaneously with the original -- is not so much a question of financial resources as of political will.
